Troubleshooting capture of elevated applications in
Windows Vista
You will have to set administrator permissions for the AdobeCaptivate.exe file to record or capture applications
running in elevated or administrator mode.
To set administrator permissions for AdobeCaptivate.exe:
Locate AdobeCaptivate.exe in your installation directory. If you have not changed any setting during instal-
1
lation, you can locate this in the C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Captivate 3 folder.
2 Right-click the file, and select Run as Administrator. The User Account Control (UAC) dialog box appears.
3 Click Allow.

Troubleshooting choppy full motion recording

You can create a smoother full motion project, particularly better mouse movement, by disabling hardware accel-
eration. When hardware acceleration is enabled, it can use a great deal of system resources and result in "choppy"
full motion recording. Disabling hardware acceleration results in better full motion recording quality.
To easily disable hardware acceleration when recording a full motion project, select the Disable hardware accel-
eration option from the Full Motion Recording tab of the Recording Options dialog box. If you select this option,
your computer screen will briefly flicker when you begin and end full motion recording. This screen flicker does
not harm your computer and does not appear in the final project.

Correcting colors in slides

In general, color should appear correctly in Adobe Captivate projects. However, there are cases in which colors
may appear inaccurately, such as when the color scheme varies radically between slides. So if Slide A uses color
palette ABC, and Slide B uses color palette XYZ, and the two palettes are radically different, Slide B might resort
to using palette ABC.
Most of these problems can be fixed by changing the video quality of the slide. Adobe Captivate provides four
levels of video quality, even though only the Standard option is suggested for most uses.
